Time for a quickie. Yeah. Pour it into your bowl. Hot water. Make the flavor go wrong. Pop that aside for a couple of minutes. Chickpeas are one of my absolute faves. Then to that, my red onions are going in there. Chicken. Sundried tomatoes. For that couscous. Have a little bit of rocket going in there. A little bit of lemon juice going on there. Olive oil. Now, season it up a bit. Just mix that through a little bit. A lovely bit of feta cheese. Oh yeah. Just a bit of crumble or two of that on the top there. How speedy was that? Beautiful succulent pieces of roast chicken. We got my feta. I got my chickpea. I got my onion. We got everything. And all made with my sundried tomato and garlic couscous.
